The NBA season has been a blast to watch thus far, but any of these 20 trades happening would make things even more intriguing.

Like all sports leagues, the NBA is a year-round spectacle these days. Even without watching stars like LeBron James and Stephen Curry dominate in amazing fashion, NBA fans are enthralled keeping track of the machinations of the offseason.

From the beginning of the regular season until February, hoops heads get the best of both worlds. There’s game action basically every single night, and the possibility of big-time trades shaking up the NBA is ever-present.

With players like Eric Bledsoe and Jahlil Okafor very obviously on the trading block already, this is shaping up to be yet another season of big-time deals, although the best ones tend to come almost out of nowhere. Accounting for both the long-rumored and the sudden trades, we’ve come up with a list of 20 that NBA fans everywhere would love to see.

These trades are meant to make both teams better, in some fashion or another. Fans of the teams involved here will doubtlessly want more than they get in these imaginary deals, as that’s just how fandom works. Oh well. All deals are final, and ran through the ESPN NBA Trade Machine.

Starting with some more obvious options and working towards the surprise moves, here are 20 NBA trades that we want to see.
